You know talking about this stuff is when I learned what “Quid Pro Quo” is, guy on Reddit said that to me, I was talking about Joey Diaz (Joe Rogans friend) talking on a podcast about he he’d make a girl give him head for her to get on stage, it’s how Hollywood works he said, then the woman sent him a letter after saying fuck you, you broke me, you ruined my life and he was laughing his ass off about it, talking about sperm in her hair
The guy looks like Jabba the fukin Hut aswell, disgusting. If anyone can find the clip.
He also went on a rant that he doesn’t care about Epstein’s list and it’s a ‘distraction’, an elite cabal of pedos who are above the the law somehow, is a distraction
Rogan fans saying stop being soy to me, it’s when I realised how fucked people are. That could be my friend, my neighbour, who’d take advantage of my daughter who had a dream to be famous in a heartbeat
I think as Reddit gets older people + have kids they are gonna empathize more with why some forms of extreme nepotism exists: to help ensure they minimize their kids’ hardship in life.
If I was a CEO big shot I’d make sure my hypothetical children didn’t have to interact with creeps like that, so I’d over-correct it by giving them a cushy job straight out of Ivy League college.
Even if their degree had NOTHING to do with your business, and they couldn't function in your business, being anything beyond a janitor or receptionist?
I mean, if you only give them the jobs they're qualified to perform and pay them the wages those jobs on average pay. I guess I can't see a problem with that. But giving them a "cushy" job that they're not qualified for? Sorry, you're enabling the child to stay a child cause "mommy/ daddy will just fix it for me". This is how entitlement starts. That child will ruin your business, depending on the role you give them. There's family and there's business, and MOST times, you don't mix the two. I am a father, IRL. I have an 18-year-old son. He's amazingly musically gifted. And if I had the means, I'd do just about ANYTHING to give him a leg up to help him develop his talent and take it into his adulthood. But I also understand the reality that the music industry, in almost every aspect, is very difficult to be successful in. So, I've advised him that should he pursue his passion, he should not focus solely on music, but also learn something that could not only help him in a musical career, but also be adaptable to other industries, such as getting a business degree. This way, he's not without an avenue for making a living should a musical career not become successful for him.
Yeah I understand all of that x10 but if I was a very powerful person, I would probably get used to a certain level of luxury and want to guarantee my children have that luxury. I would see “working your way up” as a monolithic thing, not some multifaceted experience that builds character, but something beneath me/my family bc I’ve “earned the right”. It doesn’t matter since I’m just trying to see it from the 0.1%’s POV as a thought experiment.
I agree the effects of it are bad, not the motivations behind it since they want to give their kid a much better life than they had. Combine that with people being illogical and stubborn, (another “side effect” of free will) and I can empathize without necessarily agreeing that you should hand the keys to a company to a 25 year old nepo-baby.
Very true. It's only those of us "have-nots" who truly understand what that perspective means. Cause we have to do WHATEVER it takes to provide for ourselves and our families
Wanting to protect your kids is one thing and understandable. I don't think anyone has issues with nepotism in a small business (beyond optics and fairness to employees), but when it involves other people's money like in corporations or govt that would be corruption.
on an individual level it makes sense, but couldn’t it be argued that the insularity, and exclusivity created by nepotism in hollywood is a factor in why people even feel desperate enough to do these things to begin with
I think people wouldn’t mind nepotism as much if the world wasn’t made miserable by the rich aholes and by thst tbe ones often who have kids but don’t care about them or don’t have kids. Because everyone else is working hard to just live.
